    King cake
    Cynthia M.

    THE place to get King Cake. We got the traditional. They had other baked goods that looked so good! Service was great. The owner had a great sense of humor when she gave my daughter a hard time for grabbing a fork and knife for her king cake. Ambience was delightful. Great bake shop.

    Cute local bakery with friendly employees, reasonable prices. Their pastries are just delicious! Parking in front is paid, so be aware of that.

    Not the best photo but its delicious - King Cake Gooey

    The ooey gooey butter king cake is AMAZING. The best baked good I have ever had. They also have a great selection of other ooey butter cake flavors, which is pretty rare to find. A must stop on any trip to new orleans.

    The bakery items are delicious! There is a reason that people rave about the king cakes. We also ordered an almond filled pastry and some turtles. All quite delectable. The staff on the other hand, were not very welcoming. I understand that a lot of customers come in every day, and may not know what they're ordering, but this is not a reason to be rude. I was in a party of four and two of us ordered baked goods. For whatever reason everything was rang up together, and the cashier gave us quite a bit of attitude when we clarified we were separate. In the end, it was easier for me to pay my friend for my king cake. Again the baked goods are very good. I was in the neighborhood a few days later and thought of picking up a second king cake (I got the baby in the first one) however the cashier was the same so I passed on by! I picked one up closer to my destination.

    We came here first thing in the morning when they opened. I assumed that would be the best time to arrive to get the best picks, but that was clearly not the case as there was not much to choose from, and I guess leftovers from the previous day since there were a lot of items where there was only one left or empty trays full of crumbs. What we got: King cake slice King cake ooey gooey bar Both items were fantastic. Just knocking off a star for service (never welcomed in or talked to) and the fact that things looked messy/disorganized/picked apart for a bakery first thing in the morning.

    We popped into this cute bakery while walking down Magazine Street. This bakery is pretty famous for its king cake. We ended up getting some almond petit fours which were absolutely delicious. They have lots of items to choose from and service was very friendly. One nice thing about their shop is that they will give you a free cup of coffee if you pick up a bucket of trash from the street. They have little pails by the door that you can take and fill up. It made me smile.

    I was craving a sweet dessert after my lobster roll so I stopped by Haydel's. I picked out the glazed cinnamon raisin bun, toffee cookie, and the king cake gooey bar. The desserts were amazing but the service was the bragging point here! Shawna was so sweet and asked me about my day and plans and we had a wonderful conversation! Wonderful woman made the experience so much sweeter! I very much enjoyed the bakery items and believe they're fairly priced which is a huge deal to me. I have tried Sucre more times than I should have and everytime they were double the price for what you got and they were nothing special to me. I have eaten at all the best bakeries in Paris but all I expect is you to put effort into your desserts and charge a fair price. Haydel's does just that and I felt much more at home in there, like your Grandmom's kitchen. It is the opposite of corporate feel. I look forward to going back!

    Although I bought the King Cake, I ended up with the piece that had the plastic baby in it

    This review is only for the Strawberry Cream Cheese King Cake. I convinced my friend and his wife to join me on New Orleans trip at the end of January through the second week of February. They had never considered coming in Winter until I described Mardi Gras parade season so he ended up bringing his 2 sons and daughter-in-law. I wanted to share as much of parade season experiences with them as possible so it wasn't just catching so many beads they all looked like they each had a Mr. T starter kit Part of the parade season experience included King Cake so on a day of walking almost 4 miles total around NOLA, we were on Magazine Street for a great deal of afternoon window shopping and I came across Haydel's; I remembered that it was one of the better King Cake bakeries that friends of friends had for a King Cake tasting party a few years ago (pre-Pandemic when we didn't worry about group gatherings). I went in and got one of the last King Cakes they had that day. I bought the last Strawberry Cream Cheese they had and the six of us thoroughly enjoyed it for breakfast the next day, and finished it as an afternoon snack. The King Cake flavor worked well as it wasn't overly sweet, and was a great accompaniment for both coffee and milk. I would buy Haydel's King Cake again on future trips even if I have to eat it all myself (and that could get ugly).

    Very good service! Took time to help us choose desserts and explained what they were. Delicious eclair filled with chocolate crème and the red velvet squares are delicious!

We were a party of 3 adults and 2 children (one being only 2 years old), and because of that they changed our table type from a 4-top to a 5-top and made us wait an additional 30 minutes. Meanwhile, multiple tables became available that easily could have accommodated us, but the hostess was determined to keep telling us we had to wait. To make matters worse, there was open bench seating in the back where customers ordering to-go could sit. I offered to order food to-go so we could at least sit down and get started while waiting, and she told me if I did that they would remove our name from the waitlist because "you have to pick one or the other." No willingness to problem solve whatsoever. She repeatedly said she was "sorry," but her actions showed the opposite. I was simply trying to work together to find some reasonable solution instead of continuing to watch everyone else get seated while our family, including small children, kept waiting. Absolutely horrible customer service experience.

    I lucked out by finding Ayu Bakehouse. They happened to be located on the same block as my Airbnb…read more They have a wide variety of baked goods to choose from, with the ham & cheese croissant and parm & chive biscuit being my favorites. I wasn't a fan of the cinnamon roll due to the crunchiness of the raw cane sugar on top. Ayu is a counter service restaurant with a full service coffee setup. The line moves fairly quickly, so don't be deterred if the line is out the door. Seating is very limited, so we took our items to go. Definitely worth the visit!

    The pastries at Ayu Bakehouse are phenomenal--the croissants are easily some of the best around,…read moreflaky and absolutely perfect. Their coffee is also really good and pairs perfectly with the food. The staff does a great job keeping up with the rush. The only downsides come down to space and logistics: Limited Seating: There is very little room inside, so it fills up fast. Outdoor Seating & Smoking: Because inside is tight, you often have to sit outside. Unfortunately, people were smoking in the outdoor seating area, which makes for a pretty unpleasant experience if you're trying to enjoy your food and fresh air. Parking: It can be quite a hassle to find a spot on busy days, so be prepared to circle the block. Overall, the food and drinks are a 5/5 and absolutely worth the trip, just keep the seating and parking limitations in mind if you're planning to stay and eat!

This French bakery offers authentic pastries, hand-made croissants, brunch fare, & espresso drinks. The high-ceilings, white tile, and marble tabletops emit a European café vibe. There is also a charming courtyard if you want to soak in some sunshine. I first learned about this bakery when staying at the Hotel Villa Convento across the street. They served their buttery rich croissants as part of their continental breakfast. (I'm not sure if they still do.) Now that I have a house in the Quarter, I take a morning stroll over here to pick up croissants to take home. The butter croissants are a bargain at $3.50. I also love the chocolate & almond (both are $3.95 each), as well as the crisp & flaky Palmiers & delicate Almond Florentines. When I have guests, I bring them back a Ham & Cheese Croissant - a bargain at $5.50. They always ask me to bring another the next day.
